Oasis documentary: release date, where to stream and the inside story before you press play

Oasis finally dropped the first teaser for their reunion documentary, 'Don't Look Back in Anger'. Yes, it takes its name from the song you still hear at football matches and weddings. The movie is pitched as more than a nostalgia trip, and the rollout is bigger than you might expect.

Release plan

The film hits theaters worldwide on September 11, 2026, with select IMAX and cinema screens getting it first. After that exclusive theatrical window, it heads to streaming later in the year. Expect a limited global theatrical run, with participating IMAX locations and ticket info coming closer to launch.

The teaser itself arrived on July 4, 2026, exactly one year after the band kicked off their Live '25 reunion tour in Cardiff — a deliberate timestamp on their first shows together in 16 years.

Where to watch at home

Once the big-screen window closes, the doc lands on Disney+ internationally in 2026. In the US, it will stream on Hulu and Disney+ (availability varies by region).

What the film actually covers

This is not a cradle-to-grave biopic. It zeroes in on the Live '25 reunion and the uneasy truce at the heart of it: Liam and Noel navigating a return after a 2009 split that felt permanent. You get candid backstage access, rehearsals, live performances, and, headline item, the brothers ' first joint interview in more than two decades. The film leans into why these songs still detonate in stadiums and what that connection looks like across generations of fans. It is framed as a second chapter rather than a pure retrospective.

Built for IMAX like a stadium gig

Instead of a straight concert capture, the IMAX cut is designed to feel like you are inside an Oasis stadium show. The immersive audio mix comes from Oscar- winning sound pros James Mather (Top Gun: Maverick ) and Tarn Willers (The Zone of Interest), with the explicit goal of dropping you in the middle of the crowd.

Who is making it

Created and executive produced by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders), the documentary is being positioned as a story about reconciliation, legacy, and what it takes to put a band — and a family — back together. It is directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the duo behind 'Shut Up and Play the Hits' and 'Meet Me in the Bathroom'. Producers are Sam Bridger ('Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now') and Guy Heeley. The project is presented by Disney+ and produced by Magna Studios in association with Sony Music Vision.

Why now

Short version: because the arc is finally complete. Oasis blew out of Manchester in the early 90s, turned working-class swagger into chart dominance, made 'Definitely Maybe' the fastest-selling UK debut ever, and with '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' essentially hardwired the Britpop era. By 1996, they were playing Knebworth for 250,000 people. Then came the public blowups and the final bust-up at Rock en Seine in Paris in 2009. For 16 years, a reunion looked like a punchline — until the 2025 Live '25 tour actually happened. This film is here to capture that rise, rupture, and reconciliation, with the Gallaghers finally sitting down together on camera.

About that title

'Don't Look Back in Anger' is not just a cute nod. The 1996 single from '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' was the first Oasis single with Noel on lead vocals, and it has long outgrown the band to become one of Britpop's defining anthems — and one of the most celebrated rock songs in UK history.

"Get ready to experience one of the most anticipated rock 'n' roll comebacks of our time. Witness the return of Oasis in 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' in cinemas and IMAX this September."

That is Disney's pitch. For once, the hyperbole feels earned.
